The large auditorium filled with mist. The lights dimmed low. Loud drum beats filled the room. Loud Shrill war cries from the croud reverberate through the darkness. The Show’s begun.

A grand entrance, as always from Te Varua Ori.

The story of tonight’s show was about a young couple, who meet at an early, is torn apart by war. A tale of romance and action is sure to capture any heart from any age.

Dressed in traditional Tahitian garb, this group of fit young dancers know how to put on a show. Equipped with lively dance moves and ear catching drum beats. This orange county based Tahitian dance team knows how to put on a good show.

Congratulations to Te Varua Ori for another beautiful, heart moving display of skill, talent, and ingenuity.

If you haven’t seen a show from Te Varua Ori, I recommend catching one- it’s sure to rock your world.

We were invited to attend Te Varua Ori’s Annual Showcase at Servite High School.

From the first performance of the night, the group put together a beautiful performance.

The night started with a dancer blowing into a conch and ended with the dancers picking audience members to dance with on stage.

But it’s not all waist shaking, war cry screaming, and foot stomping for TVO (pronounced TeeVo). For the past 5 years they’ve participated in the various Charitable Activities such as Lupus International’s Race for Life and have provided enterntainment for those who run in the 24 hour long Relay for Life in Long beach.
